More acts have been announced for the 14th Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival which takes place from Thursday 3rd to Saturday 5th August 2017 in the picturesque surroundings of Belladrum Estate, near Beauly in Inverness-shire, Scotland.

Newly added are Young Fathers, Deaf Havana, Dub Pistols, The Sherlocks, Saint PHNX, JR Green, O'Connell & Love, Mr Tea and the Minions, Jericho Hill, The MacGills, Morever, The Boy With The Lion Head, November Lights, Big Fish Little Fish, Inverness Military Wives, and the Headphone Disco.

Confirmed acts include headliners The Pretenders, Franz Ferdinand, and Sister Sledge (Thursday), plus First Aid Kit, Feeder, Birdy, KT Tunstall, Frank Carter & the Rattlesnakes, Honeyblood, Karine Polwart, and many more. For all of the details so far please see the line-up page.

Music comes from around 90 acts across five stages featuring locally and internationally renowned artists and favouring a lo-fi approach. Belladrum offers plenty of interest aside from the music, including entertainment for children, street theatre, cabaret, cinema, dance, alternative therapies, stalls, food and drink.

Bella sold out each of the last eight years, often months before the event so fans are urged to buy early to avoid disappointment.
